The Real Housewives of Orange County: Season 6

Guilty viewing pleasure!
What happens when you throw together wealthy, attractive Orange County women? Drama, naturally. Add a healthy dose of alcohol and the claws come out! It's a guilty pleasure to watch the women spar with each other in one cat fight after another. Watch for utterly mindless entertainment!

Sit by me and pass the popcorn!
I was recently introduced to the "Real Housewives" series, and have become an instant Housewives junkie! Watching the shows is like having a multitude of new girlfriends with problems (usually) more interesting than my own. Why is this so danged therapeutic? Wish I knew. It just is. Sitting down to watch one or two of these episodes, especially with a bowl of popcorn or a movie-size box of Milk Duds or malted milk balls is a relaxation zone all its own. The houses, the clothes, the jewelry, the men, the melodrama! It's total escapism, but somehow better because it's presented as real. I've heard some of these shows are scripted, or partly, but do I care? No, not really. If they are, those writers are doing a darn good job. Ever hear the phrase, "you can't make this stuff up"? Yeah, that. It works. Now pass me some of that popcorn!

The Real Housewives of Orange County
After reading other reviews previous to my purchase I thought it was going to be a downer. Not so the catty fights, the trivia, the gossip and the antics were all stepped up. Tamara is as usual in the spot light, this time with her new Latino lover & it is questionable to what lengths you would allow filming- all a must see & add to the mix of this series. Vicki really needs to get off her endless soap box & accept she is the queen of double standards dishing out dirt on literally everyone except her pal Tamara. Very sad that Vicki gave up her friendship with ex TRHOC Jeana. Jeana to me seemed like a real person, grounded and loyal. It seems Vicki may be falling to being a victim of "art imitating life"- Where does fantasy stop & reality begin, it seems maybe all of these ladies are at times getting the two blurred, but then again maybe us viewers do also? Gretchen cops it yet again from Tamara & Vicki who should take a good hard look at their own choices in life! Alexis- I just do...
